Which condition is treated with NSAIDs and linked to infection/inflammation according to the material?

• A. Myositis
• B. Myalgia
• C. Muscle spasms
• D. Tension headaches

Answer: (A)

The concept here is inflammatory involvement of muscle tissue and how NSAIDs address that. Myositis is an inflammatory condition of the muscle, often linked to infection or autoimmune processes, so NSAIDs are used to reduce the inflammation and relieve pain in the affected muscles. That inflammatory link is what makes myositis the best fit. Myalgia is simply muscle pain without a necessary inflammatory cause, so NSAIDs aren’t tied to an inflammatory pathology in this case. Muscle spasms are involuntary contractions and aren’t defined by muscle inflammation. Tension headaches involve head/neck muscle tension and pain paths more related to vascular or neural factors than inflammatory muscle damage.
